A man could face jail after admitting running over a man in a van.
Stephen Bates, 39, appeared at Norwich Crown Court having been charged with inflicting grievous bodily harm (GBH) to a victim at Loddon in Norfolk on May 14 2017.
The court heard Bates had “run over the victim in a van”.
Bates, of Felixstowe Close, Clacton, who appeared in court on Thursday, October 22 via videolink, also admitted a charge of theft on May 14, 2017.
The matter was adjourned by Judge Katharine Moore until December 4 in order that a pre-sentence report on the defendant can be carried out by the probation service.
But Bates, who was represented by Danielle O’Donovan, was warned that just because a pre-sentence report was being sought did not mean a custodial sentence had been ruled out as a potential outcome.
